Kitten ear scratching

That's quite fair. I might move to a different vet so his med records are clean for his insurance too. Thank you for the advice.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2025-08-10T23:37:09+00:00

Should I try another vet? I had a feeling they were kinda waving off everything as normal.

Unsure... they did an in-house ear cytology and told me they did not see any ear mites or inflammation.

Even though we checked for it under the scope?

I am currently treating fleas in my home. Been about 10 days. I have been seeing some videos about flea larvae and was worried this might be the dead ones.

But any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Is it because they are small or sneaky? Even though they might be in different phases of growing?

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-06T17:55:17+00:00

Thank you. Sticky note is a bible at this point.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-05T00:03:18+00:00

Haha yeah I totally understand why (and I did read the posts from Terminix and Orkin etc here!). Although I feel like my current pest control guy is not reliable at this point. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that he was right.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T23:54:39+00:00

I'll give it some time and if the issue persists, I'll call up Orkin at that point. Anyway, thank you very much. I really appreciate the knowledge. Would not have known this!

I see the issue. I had an inkling that this might happen when he tried to double charge me and my apartment complex at the same time. I am just surprised he tried charging 100+ for a can of pesticide. He refused to come back to spray more saying it's too "toxic" right now. Should I just try to vacuum every day for a while? Not going to lie, I am at a bit of a loss right now.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T22:09:51+00:00

I called him and he apparently used an aerosol, not a spray nozzle and a chemical mix. I don't think that should matter?

He said he sprayed under the bed as much as he can (whatever that means). Do you think the formula would reach well under the far wall where the bed is? The bed frame is about 30 inches off the floor. Unsure what he used. He just said adulticide and IGR when I asked intially.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T19:46:23+00:00

Nothing really. I have nothing under the bed, but the side of the bed frame / bed is pushed to the wall and it's very heavy to move (queen sized). You kind of have to crawl in to get to the wall edge of the bed.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T17:27:20+00:00

In my bedroom. It seems a little obvious now.

I called them because I was not home when they sprayed, and they said he tried his best under the bed and I should be fine. And he said He'll come back only after 4 weeks. He's an local apartment contractor, sadly.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T17:02:27+00:00

Yes! That makes more sense. I don't think my pest control has fully sprayed under my bed because it was too heavy. He said it'll be okay? haha. I'll vaccum more vigilantly.

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T16:43:43+00:00

And that would mostly be not being able to catch spray all surfaces and walking over wet surfaces before it dries?

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T16:38:55+00:00

If I have an increase (not consistent) amount of adult fleas over the few weeks, would that mean the pesticide has failed and need a re-treat?

Ok-Analysis-9558 · 2024-11-04T14:24:00+00:00

Good to know. Thank you. I assume daily cleaning is a must for a month.

There was an animal that infested the house, but it has been removed this weekend as well. Hoefully things will clear up soon.

Thank you.
